I substituted raw honey for the sugar and added 2 teaspoons. Much more flavor. Delicious.

Of the myriad ways to concoct, the most sensible to me is to boil half a mug of water in a microwave, then add the rest to it--spices and rum. I bet this would keep it the hottest longest. Too much clove in this recipe; use light BROWN sugar; traditional spice--ground cardamom. Others add ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, in that order; others shun cinnamon except to use as a stirrer. Some add vanilla ice cream. Topping: whipped cream. Add a pinch of salt if you utilize unsalted butter.
